It's my observation that many networkers are choosing to struggle because they're not really "playing to win". They're "playing NOT TO LOSE". And there's a big difference.
"Playing NOT TO LOSE" is a recipe for failure. These are the folks who are constantly focused on what might happen if they don't enroll someone. Or how much money they're going to lose if they buy leads and don't enroll someone. They're the ones who count the no's. They can tell you exactly how many people they've spoken with who did NOT get started.
They're focused on trying not to lose. As a result....they lose.
The other side of the equation is someone who chooses to focus on playing to win. S/he can't tell you how many people they talked to last week who didn't get started. Why? Because it's irrelevant. They're focused on finding people who are ready to change their life....they're not keeping score about the people who aren't.
They have no trouble spending money in their business because they have a belief level about what that money can do for them. They will happily spend $100 on an ad or $300 on some leads....because they know that they can earn far more than that by working their business with power and focus.
They're aware of the cashflow of their business....but they're not needless obsessed with the expense column. They're not afraid of it. Because they have very specific goals that they know are achievable. And since they control the game clock....they never lose.
Bottom line: most networkers are playing "not to LOSE". They're not playing to WIN.
And until they understand the difference, they're going to continue to get the same lousy results they've gotten in the last 6 companies they've joined.
You can't swim with one toe in the water. Jump in and focus on swimming...not drowning.
To your success!

| I totally agree. Many sports teams enter competitions to PARTICIPATE. Those who reach the top, are not mere participants. They play to win. Mentally and otherwise, they're all about winning.

I was just thinking about this the other day. If you've read Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits", you know he talks about being proactive being the starting point of success.
That is, proactively deciding what you want and going after it.
The proactive person is the captain of their own ship.
A REACTIVE person, on the other hand, just allows their lives to be governed by whatever obstacles and distractions that life throws at them. It's like nobody's steering the ship.
In fact, the ship doesn't even HAVE a destination!
One of the things you'll notice about the people who always look for what's going wrong is that they REFUSE to just accept responsibility for what's going on in their situation and work to change it.
If you're not running your life, then your life is running you.

| If you're not commited 100%, then forget it. In Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich, he talks about a warrior who led his men across the sea for battle. They were outnumbered greatly by their enemy. So he ordered his soldiers to burn their own ships. Then he told his soldiers that they would either have to win or die, there was no retreating. And guess what? They did win. The same goes for accomplishing your dreams. You must commit 100%!

Tony, GREAT post. You were describing the person I used to be before I 'got it.' I used to count all the problems and focus on lack and being afraid to part with every dollar.
Now I happily spend money on improving myself. I gladly buy training for hundreds of dollars with a big smile on my face, because it's not spent, it's invested and will come back to me 1000 fold and I know it. I no longer waste money on garbage or 'stuff' of no value. If it doesn't make me better I don't bother with it.
Never be afraid to invest in yourself and your business.
-Robert
